Laboratoires Dermatologiques d’Uriage is a leading French dermo-cosmetic company founded in 1992 and headquartered in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France. The brand specializes in high-tech skincare products formulated with pure Thermal Water sourced from the French Alps, which has been used for medicinal purposes for over 2,000 years. Uriage is currently a subsidiary of the Spanish beauty group Puig.

Core Philosophy and Thermal Water

The foundation of nearly all Uriage products is its unique Thermal Water, collected directly at the source in the heart of the French Alps to preserve its purity.

Healing Properties:
The water is isotonic and rich in mineral salts and trace elements that help restore the skin’s physical barrier, reduce bacterial adhesion, and regulate the immune barrier.

The Thermal Center:
For nearly 200 years, the Uriage Thermal Center has used this water to treat inflammatory and pruritic skin conditions (such as psoriasis and eczema), as well as ENT and rheumatological issues.
